David Goggins's ideas on Fitness, collected in one place with clear source context.
"A warrior is a guy that goes, 'I'm here again today. I'll be here again tomorrow and the next day.' It's a person who puts no limit on what is possible."
"I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done."
"The ticket to victory often comes down to bringing your very best when you feel your worst."
"If you can get through doing things that you hate to do, on the other side is greatness."
"Denial is the ultimate comfort zone."
"I’m not crazy. I’m just not you."
"Nobody cares what you did yesterday. What have you done today to better yourself?"
"You have to be willing to go to war with yourself and create a whole new identity."
"Don't let your body decide what you're going to do. Let your mind decide."
"There is no finish line. There is always more to do, more to learn, and more to achieve."
"Do something that sucks every single day. That is how you grow."
"Every morning in our lives, we have a choice to make. You have the choice to stay in bed and say, 'Forget it, I'm not going to work out today.' or 'Forget it, I'm not going to work hard today.' That's your choice."
"Be the guy who is up early, hitting it hard while everyone else is sleeping."
"Your body is the ultimate servant. It will do whatever you tell it to do, but you have to have the mind to tell it."
"Everyone wants some magic pill—some life hack—that eliminates the need to do the work. But that does not exist."
"The worst thing that can happen to a man is to become civilized."
"Motivation is crap. Motivation comes and goes. When you’re driven, whatever is in front of you will get destroyed."
"When you think that you are done, you're only 40% into what your body's capable of doing. That's just the limits that we put on ourselves."
